Serenity within chaos

Sometimes it can be hard to fit my bagua into my life.  Looking after my new daughter, giving the proper attention to my girlfriend, work, socialising and other hobbies all seem to have equally valid demands on my time.

I am currently trying to fit a bagua session into my morning routine.  Bagua in the morning just feels more in tune with representations of internal martial arts that I see in the media.  This isn't really practical for me, though, as I like a lie in, have a lot to do in the mornings and have to be in work and ready to go by 9am.

A better solution for me might be to do some bagua before bed.  Doesn't feel quite as 'right' somehow, but it is something to which I will be able to commit.

I can get over the 'your doing it wrong'-ness of it if it means I will be able to up my weekly training hours significantly.

I'll let you know how I get on...
